David Cameron will on Monday defend the government's controversial Help to Buy scheme new figures revealed that 75 people a day have used it to make offers.

The Prime Minister will say that the scheme is "already delivering" and by helping thousands of families to buy their "dream home".

According to the first official figures released by the government, a total of 2,384 have put in offers under the scheme, which enables people to take out government-backed mortgages of up to 95 per cent. Ten deals have been completed.

Mr Cameron will tomorrow meet some of the first people to apply for mortgages under the scheme in Downing Street. The meeting has echoes of former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher's meetings with the first right to buy tenants in their new council home in the 1980s.

The meeting comes amid continuing controversy over the scheme. Vince Cable, the Business Secretary, has warned it could lead to a housing bubble.

Mr Cameron said: “Four weeks in and it's clear that Help to Buy is already delivering. In just one month, over 2,000 people have been accepted for a Help to Buy mortgage. Or put another way, 75 families every single day have been put on the path to owning their dream home.

“But the best thing about Help to Buy isn't the statistics - it's who is really benefiting. Most Help to Buy applicants are first time buyers, young and have a roughly average household income. This is all about helping hardworking people get on the first rung of the property ladder - and helping them get on in life.

“Owning a home is about more than four walls to sleep at night. It's about independence, self-reliance, moving on and moving up. Above all, it's about aspiration. Help to Buy is helping people realise the dream of home ownership - and it's a key part of my plan for Britain.”

The average applicant has asked to borrow around £155,000 for houses worth around £163,000.
